Best Businesses in Austin, TX

Barry is as good as small business owners come.  We had a good experience overall having fitting room lights and a switch installed, but an issue with the billing after the fact.  Barry took our concerns very seriously, did an investigation on his end, and made it right.  I highly recommend Barry and the team at Beckett!

Amazing company, always shows up when they say they will. Guys are funny and explain everything very well. I would highly recommend this company

Super satisfied!   Rick was filling in for my normal AC guy that took some vacation.  (can you imagine?!!  LOL)  Well, anyway...my system decided to take it a vacation too...Spicer Mechanical's number was left on my guy's voicemail to contact.   Not being one of Rick's regular customers,  and a Saturday to boot,  I figured I'd get ignored.   NOT TRUE!   He returned my message in less than an hour,  worked me into his busy schedule,  (plus filling in my AC guy's schedule) showed up,  spotted the problem almost immediately,  showed me the issue,  and had the part on the truck.    Awesome!

Jimmy was a life saver!  Came out same day and saved me from worries of a wooden house and  a faulty switch!

AJ has worked on many projects big and small for me.  AJ installed all new circuit breaker panels and more in our new (old) house. It was a big job...... Disconnecting from City of Austin, and getting it reconnected after inspection. He managed it all while minimizing our down time.  I was really surprised how quickly everything was done.  Very easy to work with.  AJ is my go to for anything electrical!

Absolute Electric will figure out your electric troubles, and explain it in a way that we can understand. They do more than just hang a ceiling fan. They make sure it's right and safe. How come that light won't come on? Call them - They'll figure it out!

Prompt, personable, efficient, fair price but not below market. We will hire him again!

I had issues with no electrical power for about 2 of my rooms.  One room been the computer room where we have all our electronics: internet routers, alarm hard drive, WiFi and working areas.  I was very worry because this systems are essential for me but more for my wife, who is a teacher and does a lot of computer work for lessons plans, etc.
 We are thankful that were we're taking care of our electric issues by Mr. John and Mr. Steve who were super professional, skill, polite and approachable.   As soon as they came in my house they when to test and diagnose the problem that was fix in one hour.  From now on you can count on getting my business and my family.
  Once again I would like to express our gratitude for a great job done.

Allied Electric Services prioritizes people over profits.  Great group of professionals from the front office to the technicians.  You will not regret your decision to do business with this team.

We are doing adding a kitchen at our business and needed to upgrade the electrical panel. Made several calls to get bids from local electrical companies, but Grant with Southern Cross was the only one that got back to us immediately & gave us a timely estimate. They have been great to work with and his staff is definitely a step above your average electrician. Thanks Grant!

In a word - FANTASTIC! The owner takes the time to respond to calls and actually listens to you describe your problem (None of the other electrician companies did). The service was exactly what I wanted. The technician was prompt, polite, and professional (ex-military person too). Cost was extremely reasonable and explained before and after the service. Did not waste my time and got right to servicing my issue and said he was always available if the situation would return or a similar problem. I had used other providers in the past, but, from now on, my sole provider for any electrical problems or issues will be ON ELECTRIC without any hesitation. By far, the best that San Antonio has to offer!

Bob and his company did a great job installing our back porch outlets, fans and TV's a few years ago. I have recommended him and his company to many people. They do good quality work at a good value.

We had wanted to do some electrical work around the house but kept putting it off thinking it would be too expensive and not sure how to get everything done.  Called Sunvison based on another Yelper's recommendation and very glad we did.  Jim came out to our house, listened to what we wanted, and provided a lot of great advice.  His quote was much less than I expected so we scheduled him to start the job as soon as he could.  His team was out the next week and they got right to work.  

The electricians, Fernando and Pedro, were very professional and had us double check everything before they cut into the walls.  They were very flexible around our schedule and gave us a lot of choices on how to solve our problems.  Quality work done everywhere and we're very happy with the results.  They didn't rush anything, took their time to make sure the job was done right and that we were happy with everything.

Jim and his team will do a great job at a very fair price and they won't leave the job site a wreck.  They didn't leave until we were 100% satisfied.  My only regret is waited so long to call to get the work done - love having the new lights up and not having dark spots in rooms.  I will be calling Jim in the future for any/all electrical work in my home.

Tomas is my guy. He's almost always available to help me out in a pinch and his crew has performed a number of services at my properties. He's also super friendly and flexible with time and payment - he's even met me in a Walmart parking lot with his kids late at night so I didn't have to go out of my way to pay him after work!

One suggested area of improvement is to double check that his guys have turned all services back on after completing any work. It has cost my short term rental business a couple of bad reviews (and refunded money to pacify upset guests) when some loose ends were neglected. e.g. a couple of the rooms in my home did not have power because a circuit was not powered back on after they finished up. I'm also pretty sure his guys closed off the propane tank in order to safely dig trenches for new electrical lines (good!) but forgot to turn it back on, resulting in no hot water for my guests (not so good).

Other than those hiccups, I still received outstanding service. Definitely my go-to electrician, so please don't steal him based off of this good review. Thanks.

Very quick to respond and easy to work with. Honest work at a very good price. Will use again.

A friend of mine recommended the owner Steven Fikes to me so I went in and asked for him specifically for some work I have been looking into getting done. I was told by a colleague that he was out on a sick day so I thanked him and left.

Later that morning I'm notified by a family member that he had posted a video in a Facebook group in our community from his security footage of me walking back to my car in the parking lot, stating that someone sent their pregnant wife in regards to her husband doing illegal work and slandered me in the comments. As I am an 8 month pregnant wife, I have no idea what that was in regards to and believe he has me confused with someone/something else.

Either way, this is by far the most unprofessional thing I have ever encountered and I am still in disablief how something so insignificant got recorded and put on social media. If I could give zero stars I would. I'm confused and embarrassed to say the least.

If this is any indication of how this man conducts business, I would steer clear and far from this establishment.

Unprofessional, incompetent and pads there invoices with additional time

They were on time, professional, at a good price.  I've used them several times over the years.  Dunman is my go to place.

My A/C went out SEVERAL YEARS AGO and I called John Wayne (JW)...had seen his ads on TV. JW tech examined my system and told me it was going to cost $800 to $1200 for a repair depending upon the options I chose, but my best option because my system was seven years old was to buy a new system at a cost from $14,000 to $20,000.  I had JW show me where my system was failing...it was inside my garage air system closet.

Got a second opinion from another service but said nothing to them about JW's diagnosis.  The second service said it was a capacitor failure...located outside my home!  Cost $150 to replace. I was concerned I was just putting a bandaid on a failing system so I showed the second service where JW had said my system was failing.  The tech took out a meter and showed me that part of the system was working perfectly.  

I wrote a scathing review about JW on another site.  JW sent me an email offering me $50 if I would change my review to a positive one. No offer to refund me the $90 JW charged for the diagnosis.  I turned JW down because I think everyone needs to know that some of the techs JW sends out will lie, over charge you and try to get you to buy an overpriced system.  JW techs must get a commission on selling new units. In 2017, I bought a new 2 stage air system from the second service for a total of $7,500...half the cost of what JW wanted to sell me several years ago.  

If you must replace your air system go with a 2 stage air system...slightly more expensive but my electrical bills have gone down, and there are no blasts of air or noise coming from the air ducks...it's nearly silent when it's on.  I couldn't be happier and tell everyone to stay away from JW.  Be sure to have your air system serviced twice a year to avoid its early demise.  A loose arcing wire can ruin your system.
